A header four minutes from time by Linas Pilibatis gave kaunus a dramatic victory over Rangers,leaving the Ibrox side out of European competition. Kevin Thomson put Rangers ahead in the 33rd minute when he collected a Nacho Novo pass inside the box and fired past Kaunas goalkeeper Marian Kello. But Nerijus Radzius equalised with a tremendous 30-yard free-kick just two minutes before half-time.
2013 - Walter Smith resigned his post as Rangers chairman following a period of bitter infighting at Ibrox. The former manager, who replaced Malcolm Murray, had only been in the non-executive position three months
2014 - Rangers 2 (Macleod,Law) Hibernian 1 (AET) - SPFL Challenge Cup 1st Round (18,138)
2018 - Aberdeen 1 Rangers 1 (Tavernier Pen) - Scottish Premiership (19,046)
Rangers played 80 minutes of the match with 10-men after a wrongful dismissal of Alfredo Morelos. The Light Blues had led through a James Tavernier penalty on the half hour mark. They performed heroically to keep the home side out until a late strike denied them a victory.
 
Always wonder if we had got into the groups in 2008 if the last 10 years would have happened?
 
1984: good bears support, old fashioned British style ground. Some of the Kaiserslautern supporters were a bit naughty, bricks being chucked about outside the ground.

Despite that was sorry to hear about Kaiserslauterns insolvency, I believe that some investors are interested.
